Empty arcade

Re the arcade I mentioned in my earlier post. So apparently, according to my wellspring of local knowledge Belinda Howden, there is a swimming pool underneath this arcade! It was supplied with saltwater with a pipeline from nearby Newcastle Beach and was apparently closed down as it encouraged 'immoral activity' (I guess it would be called a 'beat' today). It now lies empty and derelict like the arcade above.
